Pythagoras Was Not Just About Triangles

The Triangle

 

Pythagoras was more than his Triangle although on the Greek Island of Samos, the very island he was born on, that is what he is known for. On my quest to find out more and purchase a bust of him I came up against challenges; not the season, heads were many seasons back now people want towels – really! I said a little startled. This did not stop my quest for a head. On our travels, we stopped and started the car, a studio here, a shop there and then on asking someone always knew a friend who may be able to help so with an address in hand off we set.

Our luck was in at one point or at least I thought it was. That was the day we arrived at the cave. Nearby a cafe nestled on the roadside selling drinks and yoghurt to weary travellers like ourselves and there on the counter was a bust, a nice white heavy good size bust. I asked if it were an item for sale. It was not, it was for the display of the cafe. I asked where to buy it and honey manufacturing cafe owner said he bought it many years again and could not help me with a head but Greek yoghurt and honey were his specialities and he convinced me to taste. I confess it was delicious. I know eat regularly back home here in the UK.

Not to be perturbed in this quest, the next day we set out again to a different location and on route we stopped at the City of Samos thinking we are bound to track a bust of my man down. Endless shops and questions only to find tiny heads of many other philosophers but not Pythagoras.

Later that day we stopped at a fabulous place called Kokkari, a beautiful harbour town filled with many shops in the most idyllic setting with waters so clear you could see to the bottom. I was getting lost in the scenery when my friend said to me ‘come, I think I have found your man but he is black’. Excited I followed. And there he was and yes he was black but that was fine. He was a great size, just like the white one from the cave cafe the previous day, however, he had a little damage so I attempted to negotiate a deal but without luck of a deal or a sale. You see once again, Pythagoras was not for sale. He belonged to the shop.

The shop apparently had been there 36 years and with the same name – which was Pythagoras so he could not leave the shop battered or not. I explained my quest and the happenings at the cave and the lady owner said to in a surprised and somewhat startled voice ‘what you have been to the cave? Can you drive there?’ Yes, I replied although in our case, not all the way, we walked about 1k as we were unsure of the mountain track, our car and driving abilities but yes we arrived and I entered the cave.’ Noooo…’ she squealed, ‘you went inside?’

Yes, I said, well worth the climb. Have you not been? I asked.

Never she replied still phased that I had. I said she must, well worth the trip. She said I am too old, if I have not done it by now I will never do it. How sad I thought that this able and fit looking lady would have a belief like that. Before leaving her shop I suggested maybe she gave the shop a new name and sold me the head – her answer was still no.

Yet another day I return back to the hotel empty handed but not yet defeated even though the car was being collected first thing in the morning.

Did I or Did I not return with a bust of Pythagoras?

That is the question…

My History with Pythagoras

What Pythagoras Taught Me
What Pythagoras Taught Me

Origin of Numerology
There have been several schools of numerology. The Chinese, Mayans, Japanese, Hebrews, Incas and Christians all followed a number system to gain deeper understanding and knowledge of themselves and the universe. The most recent school of numerology or ‘western’ numerology was founded by Pythagoras who travelled from Samos in Greece via Egypt to Croton in Italy, combining Arabic, Phoenician and other mathematical sciences. Numerology was the basis or foundation for many secret societies along with the Law of Attraction.

It has been said that Hebrew scholars have used numerology to interpret sacred text and the earliest form of writing found on a turtle shell was number symbols.

Western Numerology – Pythagorean
There was a time when no action was taken until the numbers were checked for guidance and in the sixth century BC the great Greek Philosopher, Pythagoras created the modern Western version that is widely used today. If this name rings a bell cast your mind back to your school days where you would most likely have studied the ‘Pythagorean Theorem’ –

a²+b²=c²

Duality and Energy
I believe that duality exists in this realm; accepting there are two sides to everything opens us up to accepting numbers are not there solely to count our change from the corner store but to read energy and vibration. If you have thought about how you feel in certain situations or that you find certain numbers appear lucky or not so lucky for you then you are noticing the energetic vibration. According to Science we are, and everything is, energy.

Numerology is a language of numbers that allows you to open your mind to information readily available to see that perhaps you may never see or take a much longer route to receive.

How does numerology relate to you?
It is believed that all numbers carry a vibrational energy of varying aspects and can shine light on your path, what is going on around you and inside you.

With just two basic pieces of information

Date of Birth
Name given at birth as written on your birth certificate

A numerologist can highlight challenges and opportunities, life lessons, skills and traits, your hearts desire, when to start and complete projects and so much more.

When I started to study numerology I soon came to realise these two pieces of information held my very own personal ‘Blueprint’, a map, a manual of what I came here to accomplish.

To get further confirmation on this I started to work out family and friends numbers and found I was able to describe a pattern in their lives. Initially I worked on their history because that had been written; when I shared they gave me feedback to confirm my findings. With much confirmation I then thought if this works backwards, perhaps it could work forward and with this thought I began to predict and now that time has passed, this too has been proven.

Understanding my numbers has explained so much to me that I have slowly been able to let go of my past and the story, with the numbers I have learned to read the energy I am vibrating at, I no longer rush things if there is any resistance, I let go and let be.

What would you like to let go of?
